Heating season is upon us, and that means ring up the furnace in our homes and places of work, and in many cases, for the rst time. But this also means that boiliers are being turned on in your childrens’ schools as well. Several recent events have brought a concern to light:

SPRINGDALE, Ark. (KTHV) - Officials in northwest Arkansas said a carbon monoxide leak forced an evacuation at a junior high school on Monday.

(Sophia Rosenbaum, NBC News) Dozens of people were hospitalized Monday morning after a carbon monoxide leak forced 280 students and faculty to evacuate a Utah elementary school.

(Kate Carr | Huffington Post)This week, 49 children and staff from an elementary school in Georgia were taken to the hospital for carbon monoxide poisoning. This near-tragedy has many parents, including me, wondering, "Is this something that can happen at my child's school?"
